Description of the problem	Shortly after purchasing the 2013 nissan pathfinder in december 2012, we noticed the vehicle shaking when accelerating or decelerating. This occurred in both the 2wd and the 4wd/variable transmission settings. The recall notice received said the continuously variable transmission (cvt) chain might slip and cause the vehicle to "judder", which it did many times. The vehicle acts like the engine will die when stopping or accelerating from a stop, causing hesitation that could result in an accident. After the recommended "reprogramming of the transmission control module (tcm)" by the dealer, the problem continues and now one year and several complaints to the dealer later we were advised to "open a file" with nissan to document the problem, though no one has said if it can be repaired. Along with this complaint, we are also contacting the national consumer affairs dept of nissan north america. The "slipping" occurs daily and according to the original recall notice, this might result "in future damage to your vehicle's transmission".
